Denise Mumm Art: June in Staten Island: LOTS of ART!

AND

Lumen

Saturday June 23rd, 6pm to midnight (best after dark)

An absolute

MUST SEE

totally hip art event! It is an international site-specific video art and projection festival, held on the bustling Staten Island industrial waterfront. This year it will be held at the Atlantic Salt Company. It's a great evening of visual treats you will see nowhere else! (And, to enhance it, I believe they will be serving beer this year.)

AND

Juried Art Exhibit 2012

Staten Island Museum 75 Stuyvesant Place (a block from the ferry)

June 28 - September 23, 2012

Opening reception Thursday June 28, 6:00 - 8:00 pm

I got one piece accepted in this show. There is a very talented line-up of artists who are included, many of whom have not received the attention they deserve. Come and be one of the first to discover this hidden talent.

AND

Titanic: A Centenial Exhibition of Contemporary Art

Noble Maritime Collection, Snug Harbor

I have one piece in this exhibit and small collages for sale in the gift shop.

The exhibit remains up till the end of the year.

Inspired by the whole Titanic centennial, I created a limited series of one-of-a-kind small collages. I will be selling them at Art by the Ferry. Preview them at my Etsy shop.
